The Blood Oath

"Let my rage be a shield, a bulwark against that which lurks in the dark. Let my rage be a purging flame, bringing light into the darkness. Let my rage be a rain of spears, piercing into the heart of evil."
-The commonly accepted version of the Blood Oath, famously found inscribed on a Sanguinary Guard Terminator's armor within the ruins of Horus's flagship. This unknown Astartes had laid traitor after traitor low with his weapons, only to be killed in the crash. It was this oath that was written upon the last purity seal Erasmus Tycho ever received- the one reserved for the Death Company.



Composition
-Tycho the Lost
- 1-2 Death Company Squads
-0-1 Death Company Dreadnought

Restrictions
-Death Company Squads may not take Jump Packs or a Dedicated Transport.

-If a Death Company Dreadnought is taken, it must replace both Power Fists with Blood Talons.

Special Rules

-Hatred

-The Ruddy Reaper:
Tycho was merciless with the Orks while he fought his last battle at Tempestora, his clouded mind filled with rage against the Xenos. He would not relent, firing wildly into the green wave. His comrades were likewise fierce, ripping Orks to bloody shreds with their various weapons.

As long as Tycho the Lost is alive, Death Company Squads may re-roll all To Hit rolls in the Fight sub-phase.

Probably to powerful, but maybe you could make it so enemies can only snap shot at the infilitrated units on turn 1?

Isn't shrikes strike from the shadows infiltrate and stealth? Could do that instead. Get a bunch of 2+ cover saves for a turn.

I'd say no assault first turn, it'd be silly.

This is something that I would love to see in the rumored Tzeentch Deamonkin book:

Sons of Magnus formation

Formation restrictions:

HQ must be a sorcerer or Ahriman

Troops must be 1K sons (no cultists)

Every unit that can, must take MoT

Formation benefits:

All infantry models in this formation gain the VotLW special rule

All bolt weapons (bolt pistols, bolters, heavy bolters) gain the Inferno bolt special rule

HQ and aspiring sorcerers gain access to the Divination psychic discipline

I think a formation like this could really help the struggling Thousand sons compete with the newer dexs.






It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.
